UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.

' FRANK J. BUTCHER, OF HOPEDALE, MASSACHUSETTS, ASSIGNOR TO DUTGHER TEMPLE COMPANY, OF SAME PLACE.

IM PRCVEMENT IN LOOM-TEMPLES'.

Specifi e ation forming part of Letters Patent No. 136,644,dated March 11, 1873.

1'0 all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, FRANK J. BUTCHER, of Hopedale, of the county of Worcester and State of Massachusetts, have invented a new and useful Improvement in the Toothed Rollers of Loom Temples; and do hereby declare the same to be fully described in the following specification and represented in the accompanyin g drawing, of which- Figure 1 denotes a top view, and Fig. 2 a longitudinal section, of aroller-temple, with its inner roller provided with or constructed in accordance with my invention.

' Owing to the great strain or draft of' the cloth on a temple-roller in a longitudinal direction during the process of weaving, the roller becomes so borne against the end of its trough as not only to operate with much friction upon such end, but, ere long, to be materially worn away and injured. This friction tends to stop the roller from revolving, thereby producing more or less liability of the cloth being strained, torn, or injured by the teeth of the roller.

In carrying out my invention I apply to or combine with the wooden bodya of the-toothed temple-roller an anti-friction cap or disk, b, which I usually make of horn, which, when the rollerisin use, becomesinterposedbetween -the end of the body of the roller and cemented thereto.

I claim as a new or improved manufacture-f A toothed temple-roller provided with a wooden body and a born or anti-friction cap or disk applied to its end, substantially as specified.

FRANKJ; oTcnEn.
